Taylor Cemetery is located in historical Cottonwood Point, Pemiscot County, Missouri. It contains some of the early pioneers of Pemiscot County and Cottonwood Point with the first known burial in 1858. It is located on County Road 553 which runs along the levee and the Mississippi River. If you use Google maps, it can be easily located by searching for "Taylor Cemetery Cottonwood Point". All three of the different roads you can use to access Taylor Cemetery are gravel and during periods of heavy rain or snow, some of these roads can become bad. Fortunately this is rare and the roads are quite good for 95% of the year. Many of the 290 graves in Taylor Cemetery are infants and children. Early on, mosquito borne disease and other health problems were a huge problem. The flu pandemic of 1918 took it's toll on infants, children and adults. In 2017, the Taylor Cemetery Restoration Project was started by a group of concerned citizens to restore the cemetery. A monument company was hired to repair and upright the many stones that had fallen over.
